  • More Market Magic

    Piece Of Mind

    Private for-profit health insurance is a significant factor in our high medical costs in this country. The reasons are many, but one is externalization of their internal contradiction. In order to enhance and preserve their profits, insurance companies have to go to great lengths to avoid people who are already [...]

  • Tweeting Like a Fox

    Left in the West

    The award for weirdest tweet of the week goes to Tim C[razy like a] Fox, no doubt:

    Hmm...

    The Borat humor is strange enough...but the U.S. Attorney gig wasn't open in Montana in 2007. Bill Mercer was US Atty and never stepped down. What's Tim talking about?

    Who knows? He [...]

    I heard he had a stroke today. I don't know his condition, but I know my thoughts are with him and his family. I'm sure the same is true for a lot of Montanans. Here's to a full and speedy recovery, Senator.

  • Taking One for the Boss

    Left in the West

    I've been on the road for what feels like forever, but I checked in to find Montana editorials absolutely up in arms about the Baucus-Hanes story. So let me say a few things:
    I think it is messed up that a Senator's significant other, whether boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, partner, whatever, [...]

    This has nothing to do with anything that has transpired before. I am curious about one thing. It’s not because of what I am reading of what I have read before – there’s no great philosopher behind it. It’s just my own observations. A workman who uses tools keeps his tools [...]

  • "Open Letter" to social democrats

    Left in the West

    In Dec.1920, German steelworkers,acting on the initiative of revolutionary socialists, published a letter with "transitional" demands that not only embraced issues of bread and pay but the initial steps towards worker's power. The idea was one of a "popular front" between those who felt capitalism could be reformed (the unions, [...]

    If only Kramer were here to break up all blog-o-wars – things would be a lot easier ’round here.  For this particular one, I suggest fast-forwarding to 2:35 – it’s strangely apt. [...]

    While the Camels Back has a virtual mountain of straw piled upon it, this is one tough camel! But it could very well be that the so-called "Danish text" which has emerged at the Copenhagen Climate Summit will finally crush the liberal/ progressive consensus that planet saving reforms are possible [...]

    by Pete Talbot Downtown parking is mundane to many, unless you happen to work, shop and visit downtown Missoula. It’s a hot topic right now, over at Missoulagov.listserve (subscribe or visit the archives). The short version: apparently the downtown business improvement district and, I assume, the parking commission are considering parking kiosks [...]

    by jhwygirl So very rare such a huge concession from Uncle Sam – and today, Blackfeet tribal member and lead plaintiff Eloise Cobell won her 13-year battle to collect damages from the U.S. government for mismanagement of the lands that were to be held in trust for the tribes. Big enough [...]

    Piece Of Mind

    The removal of inhibition can be liberating as well as criminal. Recently, a Reuters reporter expressed frustration that American soldiers stationed in Iraq would tell him nothing until he went to the latrines. “You have to go to the Port-o-Potties. For some reason, they talk there. You can read how [...]

    As I've noted, many American's only geography lessons occur when we attack some country. I heard a lecture by Juan Cole yesterday on the Iraq aftermath; upcoming elections, the broader dispensation and political alignments, etc.. and he pointedly said that "Dick Cheney won." Neocon rhetoric about "democratization" notwithstanding, it was' [...]

    Piece Of Mind

    What did Richard Nixon really believe about Vietnam? The best testimony comes from the memoirs of Leonard Garment, his partner in the clambering over the pool-house fence belonging to financial backer Elmer Bobst. [Nixon and Garment had spent the night in Bobst’s pool house to avoid being photographed by real [...]
